KAiDEN
Counter-UAS Hard Kill Solution
Fully autonomous interception from detection to hard-kill — adding a kinetic counter-UAS layer into air defense
Defeats threats soft-kill methods cannot stop.
Jamming- and spoofing-based electronic warfare is rendered useless against autonomous, non-GPS drones. KAiDEN unifies detection, tracking, and identification with high-speed mid-course guidance, lock-on, and precision strike into a single system — physically intercepting threats that electronic warfare alone cannot counter.
Reverses an overwhelming cost asymmetry.
Expending a multi-billion-won interceptor missile to shoot down a threat drone worth a fraction of that cost drains defense resources. KAiDEN's low-cost design enables mass deployment, fundamentally reversing the cost asymmetry inherent in close-in defense systems.
A fully integrated subsystem within existing defense architectures.
KAiDEN is engineered not as standalone equipment but as a subsystem that interlocks with existing C4I (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence) and defense surveillance systems. Proven through both military delivery and overseas export, it becomes a standard weapon system that, once integrated, cannot be arbitrarily replaced.

XAiDEN
Swarming Loitering Munition
A tactical strike swarm-drone solution that holds steady even in contested electronic-warfare environments
Eliminates dependency on pilot skill.
Manually piloted FPV drones require lengthy, costly training to produce highly skilled operators. XAiDEN has a single Commander direct nine Strikers: the Commander surveys the battlefield and designates targets, and the Strikers autonomously search, track, and strike according to their assigned mission.
Completes the mission autonomously, from tracking to final impact.
It tracks moving targets in real time and strikes autonomously — and multiple units can deliver precision strikes on a target at the exact same instant ("Time-on-Target"), overwhelming enemy defenses.
Stays steady under electronic warfare.
Severed communications and jammed GNSS signals are among the most common conditions in modern warfare. XAiDEN deploys rapidly from a stacked configuration and automatically forms swarm formation, preserving full mission capability even in contested electronic-warfare environments.
